Quadrotors have been utilized in a variety of applications where the payload needs to be
transferred from one location to another, such as in mine detection, load delivery through …

Payload manipulation with aerial robots has been an active research area for many years.
Recent approaches have sought to plan, control, and execute maneuvers with large, yet …

Executing agile quadrotor maneuvers with cablesuspended payloads is a challenging
problem and complications induced by the dynamics typically require trajectory optimization …

A backstepping control strategy for an underactuated quadrotor slung load system is
presented in this paper. The issue of trajectory tracking for a cable-suspended load is …

In this paper, a new hybrid controller for a quadrotor slung load (QSL) system is presented.
The QSL model structure has a complex and nonlinear system considering the effects of the …

This work addresses the problem of path tracking control of a suspended load using a tilt-
rotor UAV. The main challenge in controlling this kind of system arises from the dynamic …

Cooperative manipulation is a basic skill in groups of humans, animals and in many robotic
applications. Besides being an interesting challenge, communication-less approaches have …

This work proposes a control strategy to solve the path tracking problem of a suspended
load carried by a tilt‐rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Initially, the equations of motion …

This paper focuses on a pose tracking problem for a system composed of two connected
rigid bodies, namely an aerial vehicle–with hovering capabilities–and a rod-like rigid body …

We propose a dynamic controller for position tracking of a point-mass load attached to an
omnidirectional aerial vehicle by means of a cable. Both the load and the aerial vehicle are …
